Chapter 1 Introduction
IPI-BI16 is of ultra-compact, lightweight & unparalleled design, low power dissipation,
more reliable functionality and robust performance. IPI-BI16 can penetrate through haze,
smoke, rain, snow and total darkness to track and aim target which is difficult to be
observed by human eyes in both day and night, and all weather condition. It makes the
war field single-track clarity for us and meets various demands of high accuracy for night
vision, identification, tracking, analysis, and etc, reach the international military standard.
This publication provides the necessary information required to safely operate IPI-BI16
thermal Imager.
It is important to fully check all equipment with which you have been supplied.
The equipment should be used, maintained and serviced by suitably trained personnel,
capable of carefully following the procedures and guidelines given in this User Manual.
All User Manuals and leaflets should be read thoroughly before proceeding with operation
of the equipment.
It is also advisable that all User Manuals and Instruction Leaflets supplied are kept readily
available, for reference when the equipment is in general use.

Chapter 2 Precautions
Do not direct the IPI-BI16 Thermal Imager at very high intensity radiation sources
such as the sun, carbon dioxide lasers or arc welders etc.
Do not direct the IPI-BI16 Thermal Imager at high temperature target when power-on
the IPI-BI16 Thermal Imager.
When the IPI-BI16 Thermal Imager is not in use or is to be transported, ensure that
the battery is taken out and the unit is stored in the protective carry case.
The IPI-BI16Thermal Imager integrates precision optical equipment and
static-sensitive electronics, so please do not casually place, knock, or shock the
thermal imager and accessories, and make it far off the static to avoid any damages.
Never attempt to disassemble or open the imager body, as this action will void the
warranty. Contact manufacturer for calibration or repair.

Chapter 3 Maintenance
To ensure that the IPI-BI16 Thermal Imager is kept in a good working condition and
remains fully functional operation, the following guidelines should be respected at all
times:
All User Manuals and leaflets should be read thoroughly before proceeding with
operation of the equipment, please contact us if there is any unclear.
Keep the IPI-BI16 Thermal Imager steady during operation.
Do not use the IPI-BI16 Thermal Imager beyond the specified operation condition
scope.
Do not apply the non-fitted thermal imager adapter.
Do not frequently power on/off the imager. The time between on and off should be not
less than 20 sec.
Do not pull in/out all the cables when the imager is power-on; and highly recommend
to cut off the power of all the connected electric systems when pull in/out the cables.
If the observation is over or in holding state, please timely cut off the power so as to
effectively extend the imager lifetime.
Pay attention to the protection of the various cables and wires that connected with
thermal imager.
Do not clean with chemical solvent, diluents. The clean, soft and dry flannelette is
available.
As the thermal imager lens had been coated an antireflective film layer and often clean will
damage the coating, the optical surfaces of the imager lens should only be cleaned when
visibly dirty. Please avoid touching the exposed lens surface, as the acid substance on the
print will damage the coatings and lens substrates. Use only a proprietary lens cleaning
tissue.
